Murder Hindi movie is a Bollywood version of the popular English Movie "Unfaithful". Released in 2004, it created lot of controversy among Indian crowds who are not used to movies that talk about adultery and also to very erotic sex scenes in a movie. The sensual scenes of Mallika Sherawat and Emraan Hashmi were very graphic, which lead to protests etc. The movie was directed by Anurag Basu who directed few more films which had revealing scenes in them like "Gangster", "Life of a Metro" and "Kites". This was a breakthrough film for both Mallika Sherawath and Emraan Hasani, especially for Emraan who went to star in many films similar to this one. In a way this was a breakthrough movie in Indian cinema because subject of adultery was never really explored in mainstream Hindi movies before. There were few more movies very similar to this like "Hawas" and "Tezab" but they never really got popular like "Murder". In fact "Murder" was one of the few adult certified films that found success in India.
